karrigan: "Retirement is not on the horizon for me"

15-4-2024 11:50

The Danish tactician said he wants to continue pushing everyone to their limit after adding another title to his CV on the day he celebrated his 34th birthday.

karrigan said that he wants to keep making CS history

FaZe picked up their first title of 2024 on Sunday as they defeated MOUZ 2-0 in the grand final of IEM Chengdu in front of a sold-out crowd at the Wuliangye Chengdu Performing Arts Centre.

For Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen, it has been a highly successful return to FaZe after a first stint with the North American organization between 2016 and 2018. Since re-signing with FaZe in 2021, he has led the team to eight LAN trophies, including a long-awaited Major crown in Antwerp in 2022.

The IEM Chengdu trophy came on the day karrigan celebrated his 34th birthday. With a career dating back to the mid-2000s in 1.6, he is one of the oldest and most experienced players in all of esports, and he made it clear that he doesn't know when he will call it quits.

"The main thing is that I want to make history with FaZe Clan," he told reporters at a press conference after the final. "That's why I came back. I knew when I came [back] to FaZe that this would probably be my last team.

"I want to push everyone to their limit. I'm pushing myself to the limit. Retirement is not really on the horizon for me. The most important thing is that I will never let the team down. If I'm not the right captain for the team one day, I will understand that. But for now, I think I'm still improving individually and as a captain, and the team is improving."

karrigan acknowledged that winning the IEM Chengdu trophy will probably "release some pressure from our shoulders" after a string of second-place finishes, even though he insisted that he was "super proud" that the team had managed to reach so many finals in Counter-Strike 2.

broky: "I used this tournament as a kind of vacation"

FaZe will have only a few days' rest before going back on the road. The next tournament is the ESL Pro League Season 19 in Malta, which could put them one step closer to winning another Intel Grand Slam season.

"Now with a victory, I can sleep a little bit better the next few days," he said. "[I want to] try to keep making history and win as much as possible.

"The main goal is IEM Cologne for me, right now. The most important tournament of the year is Cologne, together with the Shanghai Major. And we'll take it from there. Why not be a two-time Grand Slam winner?"

Lets go, keep winning trophies

For FalleN i am not quite so sure, if arT doesn't get benched and replaced in the next few days i don't think FalleN will continue with Furia and let's be honest he would not join a tier 2-3 BR team in this stage of his career. Just like with karrigan Furia will probably be FalleN's last team as a player.

I'm with you on that. I wished to see those 2 playing for many more years, but with how things are going in FURIA I think FalleN is about to leave soon and probably announce retirement, which will be so very fucking sad. Those 2 and f0rest, too. But guess that train has departed already =(

Of course it isn't if you just made 8 finals in a row, lol. Only haters would suggest that I won't be surprised if we will see some players not hanging the mouse until they're like 40

Both are great IGLs no need to compare

2024-04-15 12:44

Agreed. Gla1ve doesnt have the longevity of karrigan (at least yet) and karrigan doesnt have gla1ve’s era defining period of sheer dominance

2024-04-15 12:56

Haven't seen anyone talking about Gla1ve being the GOAT IGL since 2019.

2024-04-15 13:08

Obviously glaive is a good igl. Trash IGLs can't lead their team to 4 , let alone 1 major. But to me, I feel Karrigan is much better. Glaive did it with a core over the course of 3 years. Karrigan won more trophies alongside much more teams with less powerful players. The reason why they peaked in 22 was that they were in perfect form. Now this is another peak and I hope they keep winning.

2024-04-15 14:41

Karrigan proved himself with different lineups time after time. Im not even fan of his but dude is easily Goat igl. Even Astralis trios first success (winning trophies wise) came right after they got karrigan as igl

2024-04-15 15:24

the fact that god zonic was able to coach bot apex to look like a half-decent IGL exposes gla1ve pretty hard. in hindsight it's looking like zonic's system was the main reason for the astralis era. gla1ve's contribution was as much in IGLing as it was in fragging. as soon as he and xyp stopped fragging the team went from top1 to irrelevant and never recovered.

2024-04-15 14:45

What are you even talking about with apEX dude. Vitality under apEX has been a legit top team for 1 1/2 years before zonic joined.

2024-04-15 15:55

they won everything in the online era with ALEX. then they struggled with apex IGL and yes, they did win a few tournaments thanks to zywoo hypercarry but there was no positive trend overall. why do you think they finally went international and dropped baldfraud? the results weren't good enough for a team that has zywoo, the best player in the world at the time. they finally became the best team in the world with zonic, magisk and dupreeh. now they are struggling again, last place in kato, fluke to semifinal at the major. on paper it doesn't seem so bad but you will see, the major was an overperformance and it's all downhill from here until they get a real coach and IGL. zywoo's hypercarry days are over, he's now a top 5 player who needs an actual team to succeed and baldfraud + apex is no foundation for a team.

2024-04-15 17:49

alright, that makes me a hater then, but whatever

2024-04-15 17:43

we can agree that before 2019 gla1ve numba one, after 2019 karrigan numba one

2024-04-16 12:54

+1, even not perfoming in numbers, his job as igl is making the pieces functional. and my guy is doing this.

2024-04-15 13:44

+1 carrygun is as strong as ever

2024-04-15 14:25

I think karrigan simply had the fortune of becoming an igl at the right time and mostly being surrounded by stars. Whenever faze won an event, it was usually because of 2 or more individuals over performing, and not so much due to strats or mid game calling.

2024-04-15 12:13

21 replies

Look at other teams. Most top teams these days have solid player, unlike back in the Navi Zeus days. Faze is doing all this whitout Zywoo, Device or S1mple. Take away Zywoo from Apex for example and he wont even make playoffs most of the time. G2 whitout Insane Monesy form would be laughing stock. Your take is just shit bro.

2024-04-15 12:17

15 replies

My take is an insane compliment to the others. Rain is one of the greatest players faze ever had. As modest as he is, his impact for faze is more valuable than most people would acknowledge. Broky literally is top 2 awper this year. Frozen was already touted to be better than niko. He already is more successful. Ropz is ropz. No matter how you wanna look at it, karrigan is surrounded with the best players atm.

2024-04-15 12:22

Yet, karrigan has found success in every team he has been in and these players without him have not. Ropz and frozen struggled a bit when he left mouz. Faze clan was not successful under NiKo. Have to give credit where its due. Trophies follow him

2024-04-15 12:36

6 replies

That's more of a confirmation of #54 Regarding mouz, remember when they were in a slump for how long, even though they had a great lineup. Going to faze literally saved him. Or should I say: ROBBAN saved him....?

2024-04-15 12:38

Naah, Robban was just good mental coach for them.

2024-04-15 13:23

Likely under appreciated yeah

2024-04-15 13:29

Not denying he is one of the best igl, but he couldnt make mouz work in the end of his time there, couldnt make faze work before ropz joined and he also had that really short envy stint.

That EnVy stint brought his career back my guy

2024-04-15 19:17

How? They where horrible, didnt improve at all with karrigan and he even didnt do good individually. Even if it was just 2 months and it was a horrible roster, how did that help his career?

2024-04-15 20:49

what about his mousesports accomlishments in that roster with woxic? I think karrigan won enough to prove hes a legit IGL, he did it with different players, stand ins, etc etc.

2024-04-15 12:39

That's not completely how I remember his mouz time tho, people were talking about the karrigan effect there as well

Ignorant way to look at things. MAYBE they perform at their best, because Karrigan preparation is great... MAYBE they perform at their best because his reads alow everyone to think about nothing, but shooting when Karrigan dooes the majority of thinking. Do you think that you just shoot good and you gonna win things? Most of the shooting good happens, because of being in the right place at the right time. That's igl's job and coach job to talk about antistrats. Wannabe Igl's like Shox, Stevie, Yekindar, Electronic, Niko are prefect examples how shit is you take.

2024-04-15 12:49

karrigan is surrounded by good players is not due to luck. players wanted to play with him, twistzz joined faze because he knew karrigan will join. ropz and frozen joined faze because they knew they'll be playing with karrigan again. there's a reason for that.

2024-04-15 13:24

Not dishing karrigan completely, that's why I mentioned his ability to enable his teammates.

2024-04-15 13:31

take any other igl and put in the tm. They wont have the same respect for him as it is now for karrigan to lead a tm with such stars and make them believe your calls.

2024-04-15 13:49

They are the best players because they became the best players under karrigan, not because they were top players before he joined them. broky was a passive baiter before karrigan joined FaZe, his impact with the AWP was non-existent and he only got anything done in clutches. frozen was a literal nobody before he joined mouz under karrigan. ropz never was a super star before karrigan. Twistzz was all but a shadow of himself when he got kicked from Liquid and look at how well he did under karrigan. rain dropped off a cliff when karrigan left FaZe and became a 1.0 rating average rifler, look at how he returned to form when karrigan came back. Only delusional haters refuse to see that karrigan has a unique ability to get 110-120% out of his players.

2024-04-15 16:03

this is the worst take I've ever heard on Karrigan and Faze clan in general, if his players are over performing that's credit to the IGL not points taken, that's exactly what you want, Karrigan built this team, aside from Ropz, which star did he bring to the team? I remember the doubts around Twist, "he is good but not EU good" Karrigan of course made him shine even brighter, what about Broky? where did he come from? to this day I don't know he just came and performed, what about Rain, he had worst number in supposedly his prime years, he is the real deal, after all he have done to Faze the way he cried after the defeat in Kato just show how much he cares, it doesn't matter to him how much he won already, he wanna keep doing this.

I'm glad we agree on #66

2024-04-15 12:41

Newfag? Karrigan has been IGL for ages, plus he MADE these guys star players... Broke was noone before, wonder why ropz and frozen is in love with karrigan as an IGL. U are biased hater for sure to say this sht.

2024-04-15 12:40

Not a hater, I'm being respectful. But I'm glad we agree on #66

You can see how good of a igl he is if ,ropz would cut down some of his salary just to play with him and frozen to only play with him or stay at mouz , even when he had offers from other teams like vitality

2024-04-16 10:03

You've never been in a team with a shitty captain & a great captain to see how big of an impact it can have. Having a great leader is inspiring and boosting you so much, it has such a massive impact on your mentality, mood and team atmosphere. It can make a group of random click in the best possible ways. That's why when I see a random star switching to the IGL role I can't help but facepalm because it's not that simple.

2024-04-15 12:23

Being surrounded with model professionals that fill out their roles perfectly makes things a whole lot easier tho. Edit spelling.

2024-04-15 12:25

Don't act like he didn't mold most of them into being the best version of themselves. I can bet my house they would all tell you he is the best captain they've ever played with. It makes a huge difference on your performence when you are actually enjoying yourself.

2024-04-15 12:29

Yeah karrigan really know how to enable these guys, that's what a good igl should do. However, I do think he is just surfing the waves on his teammates back atm. Edit spelling.

2024-04-15 12:31

He's surfing on the back of the waves that he himself generated. Should he just fucking leave faze now that they're the absolute best team in the world at 34 years of age just to prove to Links234 on hltv that he can do it again or what? You're making absolutely 0 sense. Whatever he's doing, he's fucking good at it, because he's playing against stacked AF rosters all the fucking time, yet he's been in the grand finals of every single event they went to in the last 200+ days, winning 50% of them. I don't understand why people discredit all these S tier IGLs all the time. Of course they want to work with the best players, because they are the ones who can bring the IGLs victories. No sane IGL would want to play with fucking hext or noSee when they can have rain and broky on their team, lmao.

2024-04-15 13:19

someone with the IQ finally. Thanks

2024-04-15 13:50

I think it is

That's a good take, to some extent stubbornness will work to your advantage, but certainly not all the way

Well...Mr.Rocket is the GOAT and there will never be player like him

2024-04-15 12:12

there will be. its inherent in human nature itself. we improve. regardless of what we do, we get better and better and better at anything we do. the only question of substance is not if, but when it happens. in other words: will you live long enough to see someone better someone that is considered to be the goat in their sport?

2024-04-15 12:21

Yeah thats true of course and time will surely tell.But one thing is sure...that player haves to be monster caliber type.Lets hope we see more crazy talented champions in the future too and that Snooker comes bigger globalwise

2024-04-15 12:34

Honestly not necessarily true. I do think that humans can improve a lot but in my opinion there will be a thing that can't be improved or beaten. Of course the game will change and people as well but players from different generations is hard to compare because of the difference in time. Like NBA was a lot different back in the days compared to today.

what i said is necessarily true. every sport was different back in the days if compared to today. i dont know what you want to say? please explore the argument more. you are wrong here. name one things humans do not improve in over time. the margins to become greater than another might become smaller, yet they will never be zero, which means there will be a human that takes up that space in time. only because you wont live to see, does not mean its not happening. what about the nba? discussions are only found around delulus here. same in football. only delulus discuss.

Why is Usain Bolts record from 2009 still unbeaten. Do you think that humans will run faster and faster? Of course they won’t. There will be a limit to what a human can do. Usain Bolts record may not be it but there won’t be a significant change to the record in future no matter how much time passes.

2024-04-15 22:35

The record 100m in 1912 is 10.6 seconds. There has been only a one second improvement in 112 years.

2024-04-15 22:43

yet there has been constant improvement over time in 100m world record progression. what did you expect for the 100m? i can run 100m in 14 seconds and im not that well trained. did you expect someone to better the world record by 7 seconds? stupid and weak argument of yours with the "only" one second in 100 years improvement ( which is an average improvement of 1/100s/year) better training methods, better nutrition, better planning, better techniques, better equipment, better sports places asoasf - as i said: we only get better and better and better at anything we do. and you are right, there are physical limits. as of now for 100m men its 9.12s IIRC, so we are half a second off, of what science calculated what time is possible. you can be sure a human will jump into the margin that exists. bolt had a very sloppy running technique ( shoulders & back). still: i urge you to name one things humans dont improve in over time! if you do think bolts record will stand the test of time, than there is no help for you. explore the argument more! also: yesterday, a 38year world record in discus-throwing was broken. this world record was set in 1986 by highly doped athlete from gdr, which had a system of systematic doping in place, which was installed by the government itself. so even a highly doped world record got beaten eventually. it just took some time. you are wrong with what you think.

2024-04-16 09:56

How am I wrong if there are physical limits like you said? With your logic humans should be able to run 100m in 0 seconds in couple million years.

2024-04-16 13:07

And even if humans could run 100m in 0 seconds, what's after that. There is nothing to improve anymore timewise.

2024-04-16 13:21

whats your problem, boy? i literally wrote: "and you are right, there are physical limits" yet we are far from reaching them. everywhere and regardless where you look. its impossible to move 100m in 0 seconds, since that would mean moving faster than light, which takes about 0,0000007 seconds to travel that distance. this would be the true physical limit of a 10ßm run. its also impossible to predict human evolution over a million years. maybe our legs grow twice as long? doesnt look like that, but who knows. the 9.12s are an as of now state. the limitation presented here is caused by the strength of the muscle in front of the knee of a runner. if methods ( legally of course) could be applied to make it stronger, the possible world record time would lower itself further. i think i talked about how we as a species improve over time. and since snooker doesnt have these kind of physical limitation its guaranteed that we will see someone better ronnie. which was the whole point "mr there will be never a ever be a better one".

2024-04-17 12:31

I never said that there won't be a better one. I just pointed out that at some point there will be things that can't be beaten. Seems like you missed my whole point.

2024-04-17 16:52

for his age he is still doing amazing

2024-04-15 11:59

Regardless saying that speaking English is easier for a Slovakian guy than Russian is absurd and at the end of the day he wasn't playing in his native language anyway not to mention he had more experience playing in Russian speaking team than English

2024-04-15 14:19

Sure because every Slovakian learns different alphabet to speak niche language rather than English to communicate with everyone. You're wrong. Accept it and don't dig yourself deeper and deeper.

Yeah sure buddy and you are right at saying that a guy who played in Russian speaking team for years has easier time in playing in English for the first time in his life....amazing

English is taught in Slovakia to every child. He didn't have to learn it in FaZe...

Rain has never even left FaZe since 2016 and FaZe has had Karrigan for a majority of the time since they entered CSGO.

2024-04-15 16:22

karrigan wasn't igling rain in 2015/16/19/20 that's 4 good years

2024-04-15 16:35

No one was IGLing pretty much in 2015-until he joined, they didn't really have a system and they were just a bunch of decent players playing with eachother in a rare EU mix team at the time. 2019/20 NiKo felt like sabotaging the team by being the IGL (which obviously didn't work) and NEO was only on trial which wouldn't be enough time to really get a cohesive system going. Infact I have no clue as to why ppl thought NiKo being a leader figure would be a good idea to begin with. The only good IGL FaZe ever signed to begin with was Karrigan.

2024-04-15 16:44

So what are you arguing about buddy?

2024-04-15 16:48

My point is, in the case of Rain and Broky, they never even had another top tier IGL to play under. Idk if your above statement was meant to discredit Rain and Broky's HLTV ratings or not tbh but if that's the case, the argument supporting that is kinda dumb.

2024-04-15 16:52

That's fair. Same way I felt you were discrediting karrigan in someway but a good IGL's job is to get most out of the players they have got and at the end of the day its up to players skill regardless how good of a IGL he is. Basically both can be true

2024-04-15 16:58

And your point is...?

2024-04-15 15:13

13 replies

The point was to get all conditions that would have to be met so greatest IGL of all time could have a chance at a Major trophy. At least 3 TOP20 players to get to a final 3 times in 10 years and if home countries of opposing team in the GF are at war with each other karrigan wins the final 100% of the time.

2024-04-15 15:28

And your point is...? Major champion, grand slam champion, 200+ days of 1st and 2nd place finishes. Salty much?

2024-04-15 15:37

Conditions were met and he won. I'm proven right. What's your issue?

2024-04-15 15:39

Those conditions only exist in your empty head. A win's a win, there are no asterisks to it, no ifs or buts, and there's absolutely no need to be a salty PoS about it. Teams beat everyone they can, and if there's no one left to beat at the end of a tournament, you've won it.

2024-04-15 15:43

You're trying again to imply I'm salty about something. That's only your projection. All I did was list conditions under which karriggan rightfully won his Major at 32 years of age after multiple attempts while having 3-4 TOP20 players to help.

2024-04-15 15:53

That's like a backhanded compliment, like when a mentally challenged kid gets 4+6 right after the 3rd try. We could sit around and talk about this one for hours, but you know damn well what I mean.

I'm sorry. I didn't knew you had so harsh childhood.

2024-04-15 15:56

Figures. The only way you say sorry is tongue-in-cheek. I'm out, see ya.

Don't be so salty :)

2024-04-15 15:12

1-13... amazing kda, amazing performance..

If faze themselves have no problem with it, why do you? They're happily playing every grand final in CS2 with karrigan leading.

2024-04-15 15:47

8/8 finals in a row in CS2 with 50% win rate

2024-04-16 10:21

keep grinding king

2024-04-15 12:11

Realistically, even if faze drops him, he will have plenty of teams seeking his services.

lets go G2 karrigan Niko reunite

FaZe will never drop him and I don't think he will join another team after FaZe. He has his dream teammates in rain and ropz next to him.

2024-04-15 16:23

so faze need 2 more trophies for grand slam ?

Yes, one of them being Cologne or Katowice

would love to see 40yr old karrigan winning a major

2024-04-15 12:15

CARRYGOATTTTTTT!!!!!

2024-04-15 12:16

Unlucky I guess. Not enough 1 kill games and camera glances to retire it seems

2024-04-15 12:19

Unlucky I guess. Not enough consistent teams to challenge him getting into every grand final it seems.

2024-04-15 15:10

Go on king, you still have a lot left in the tank!

Yup, there's 0 reason to stop when you're literally on the top for the entire lifespan of CS2 so far.

HLTV know-it-alls in shambles

2024-04-15 12:30

Will be retired after shangai

2024-04-15 12:35

This guy is the total opposite of BlameF. Sacrifices his own stats to the benefit of the other players to make them shine and they get the results. Felt sorry for his poor personal performance in Copenhagen but he’s surely the games greatest IGL now.

finally someone who knows cs +1

2024-04-15 12:46

This. Even yesterday on Nuke he was always the one pushing for info, and going in first when they didn't have enough info to get a proper execute, that's why his stats on Nuke were bad again. Apart from those few games where he is the "bait", he is playing his best CS individually since Astralis.

2024-04-15 12:53

+11

2024-04-15 14:07

true , cant imagine faze without him n rain

2024-04-15 12:45

When Inferno is finally removed from the map pool, he'll win the next 3 majors.

-inferno has to happen before the next major, Valve surely did realize how noone wanted to play it at the major.

2024-04-15 12:55

But they will bring that random new map that was played yestreday in showmatch, instead of Tuscan or Train.

-overpass most boring map to watch

Built different

2024-04-15 13:30

Error 404: Spirit missing from major finals

wait what? Who talking about Spirit, except you?

2024-04-15 16:04

Flair & flag checked out.

2024-04-15 16:05

What kind of logic do you have? Do you think that if I like Spirit, then they have to win all the time?)) I'll tell you a secret, but you have to support the team because you like it, not because it wins. Tomorrow FaZe will lose, will you stop supporting them? Is that how your head works?

2024-04-15 16:14

You were quite on board with the back and forth until #189, then you suddenly diverted into whatever this latest comment is. The one missing logic is you, I think.

2024-04-15 16:17

I say again: I'm not talking about Spirit, I'm talking about how poorly karrigan plays. Where is your logic??

2024-04-15 16:30

And I'm talking about him beating your flair fair & square in the quarterfinals, so that's that.

2024-04-15 16:31

Well, spirit lost, so what? Why didn't you say anything when they were winning everyone in a row, as if they were moving on a bulldozer? How does this cancel out the fact that karrigan is a bot who played 1/15 in the final of a major?

2024-04-15 16:55

What I did say at the time is that it's only a question of time before top teams figure out how to counter the neurotic chipmunk. Karrigan is an IGL who doesn't need to frag out to be successful, since he's good enough at calling & getting info for his team through self-sacrifices that they reliably reach grand finals for the past 200 days.

2024-04-15 16:59

Our conversation now is like this: I tell you that karrigan is playing like a bot, I give facts and examples based on the main match of the major, and in response to this you say "Spirit lost in the quarterfinals." Aren't you laughing at your own reasoning?

2024-04-15 16:56

2024-04-15 16:49

gonna be a 45 year old talent winning in cs3

2024-04-15 18:27

let others make finals man

2024-04-15 18:29

GOAT Karrigan. Good for you!!

2024-04-15 19:24

Happy to read this actually. We need these older players with experience still in the game.

2024-04-15 19:32

TRUE LEGEND CS PLAYER

2024-04-15 19:48

Legend, glad to see him continue.

2024-04-15 19:54

TRULY GOAT IGL

2024-04-15 20:02

Second Greatest of All Time, SGOAT

2024-04-15 21:35

Absolute king.

2024-04-15 21:53

I KNEW IT. This dude will play till mid 40's if he can. I have all sorts of issues with him as an IGL, but got to give him props where he deserves it. He is a competitor at heart. He might even have one more roster in him before he even begins to consider it.

2024-04-15 22:45

He's the goated IGL of csgo/cs2. What issues do you have with him as an IGL?

2024-04-16 13:35

Because his IGL value is far less than most people give him credit for, that his plan isn't a plan, but a very loose strategy that relies on individuals IGLing themselves and praying for individual pop offs to win, which only works with you have 4 top 20 players popping off to carry you though. They play slightly organized pug CS with better players.

2024-04-16 20:58

You underestimate him

2024-04-16 23:42

I think everyone overrates the hell out of him. Not saying he is bad, just that he is nowhere near the level of hype. Countless great teams, some decent results, but not to the level any of those teams should have had. Participated on 3 rosters that could have had eras, none of which had one, of those one went on to have the most dominating era we've seen. He just isn't anywhere near the level people want to pretend he is.

2024-04-16 23:48

Finn, I love you :DDD

2024-04-15 23:11

Good to know that. Keep in scene KarriGOD

2024-04-16 06:15

Legend!!!!

2024-04-16 06:20

King.

2024-04-16 16:40

40 year old talent incoming...

2024-04-16 19:03

Yep just to confirm that CS has no age limit or whatsoever it's a lie and karrigan confirms it and yet he is and still the GOAT IGL and he won his Major at the age of 32 correct me if I'm wrong.

2024-04-17 00:11

Of course MONEY MONEY MONEY :))

of course it isn't if you just made 8 finals in a row, lol. Only haters would suggest that I won't be surprised if we will see some players not hanging the mouse until they're like 40 karrigan is the goat IGL
